Yes, I'm happy to see Catherine Bach join the cast, but remember if you need new cast members, don't forget our former AMC actors. I'm sure there are more of them out there that would be intersted in joining the Y&R. Keep in mind that you will draw former AMC viewers over to the Y&R. It's a Win/Win situation!
ReplyDeleteEnough with the new people and the stunt casting! Nothing can take the place of good writing.
ReplyDeleteWhy try to "pull" over viewers from other soaps and that is not in any way a dig or disrespect to ABC viewers but Y&R and LONG time CBS viewers are LEAVING Y&R because of the neglect of Y&R's long time vets. A handful of vets get pitiful story, history changing characters and rest is languishing and rest of stories are being sucked up by new characters ENOUGH! I thought I might be able to return to CBS. I stopped watching 10 months but it's evident MAB isn't going anywhere and I'm not going anywhere near Y&R to watch. CBS has lost some of their viewers because of cancellation of ATWT & GL and all this stunt casting or bringing in new characters from other shows haven't done NOTHING for the ratings. The best ratings Y&R had in a months was MTS's episode of "Nikki" because she is a beloved character to many long time viewers and I even returned to watch that one episode, get a clue CBS & Sony, & Bells do you want to keep your faithful viewers that you're losing by the THOUSANDS or want new viewers that isn't really coming aboard? There is a way to do both, I'm so disgusted right now I saying it OUT LOUD cancel Y&R, it's a complete joke in the industry lost its mystique and quality. I'm not throwing my loyal support to any daytime soap (right now I'm faithfully watching DOOL because of quality and community feel but can change if goes all wacka-doodle) I'm tired of and disheartened how Y&R has fallen under MAB, Hogan, & Scott...it's depressing.
